Anotation:
The course deals with modern measuring instruments, virtual instruments (VI) a data acquisition systems (DAQ). It presents instruments and systems for measurement in laboratory and industrial environment, selected methods of measurement and standards for programing VI and DAQ systems.
Course outlines:
| 1. | | Architecture of measuring instruments and data acquisition systems. |
| 2. | | Testing A/D converters. Processing of digitized signals in time and frequency domain. |
| 3. | | Digitizers and multifunction data acquisition modules, oscilloscopes. |
| 4. | | Input circuits of measuring instruments. Noise and its suppression. |
| 5. | | Standards for programming data acquisition systems (IEEE488.2, SCPI, VPnP, VISA, IVI, PXI, LXI, AXIe). |
| 6. | | Development environments for programming virtual instruments (C/C++, LabVIEW, VEE, Matlab/Simulink). Virtual instruments for RTOS (RTX, LV/LW Real Time). |
| 7. | | Integration of VI into computer network. API for communication protocols in OS Unix and Windows. |
| 8. | | Synchronization and measurement. Synchronization in large and distributed systems. The NTP and PTP protocols. |
| 9. | | Generators of analog, digital and special signals. |
| 10. | | Spectrum and vector analyzer, pronciple, realization, use. |
| 11. | | Coherent detection, synchronous detectors. Vectorvoltmeters, impedance analyzers. |
| 12. | | Measurement of electric power and consumption. Electronic loads, power analyzers. |
| 13. | | Etalons of electrical quantities. Quantum Hall effect. |
| 14. | | Etalons of time. |
Exercises outline:
Labs in the first part deal with software development tools, in the second part students work on a dedicated assignment of selected topic from programming of DAQ systems. Part of the labs shall be a project finished with presentation and short report. The assessment requires defense of the project.
